What if the new Constitution hadn't been ratified?

believe that if our country was still under the authority of the Articles of Confederation that the United States would not be what it is today. The Articles of Confederation was a document meant to keep the states in line with their regulations. The states would act as a European Union to deal with eachother. If we lived while the Articles of Confederation were still in tact then the United States would have been less of a country. Overall, I think that if the new Constitution hadn't been ratified and if the country was still under the authority of the Articles of Confederation that the U.S would be very different and close to falling apart today. Everything that has happened in history has brought us to where we are now with our lives.

COLLAPSE

If the Constitution had not been ratified the United States would not be the way it is now. Our rights that we have today are protected by the Constitution and if it had not been ratified we could not have been guaranteed the life that we have now (which most people around the globe wish to have.) The Constitution is a major part of U.S history and if it were not ratified the history of this country would have changed completely. Congress would have been working for the governments best interest and not the citizens' best interest. I also think that if the Constitution was never ratified, the U.S would have split into two separate nations- North and South. The North would have continued in the industry world while the South would have chosen the world of agriculture.
